Tucked away in a brownstone on the Upper West Side, La Boite en Bois has been a favorite among diners since 1985. Family owned and operated, our attentive and well-trained staff will be sure to provide you with a memorable experience. As seen on Seinfeld, we are a short walk from Central Park, Lincoln Center, NYC Ballet, and the Metropolitan Opera.

With its rustic ambiance, diners are made to feel as though they are in a bistro in the French countryside. Serving classics from Escargot to Salmon to Roasted Duck to Mussels, you will be delighted with our extensive selections. We serve lunch everyday, with a variety of salads, soups, panini, and classic French dishes, such as Croque Monsieur, Seafood Crepes and Onion Soup. Come Saturday and Sunday for our Brunch, and enjoy Eggs Benedict, French Toast or a La Boite Burger.

First time and really enjoyed our experience our pre-Opera lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Arrived early for a reservation and staff was very accommodating. We had an omelette which was fluffy and delicious; salmon with couscous and spinach - cooked as requested but a little salty; Burger was delicious (but also a little salty). Staff was attentive and all around a great experience. If you go be sure to eat inside - Ambiance is NOT to be missed
